BASIS OF PRODUCT DATA SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

All technical data stated in this Product Data Sheet are
based on laboratory tests. Actual measured data may
vary due to circumstances beyond our control.
ECOLOGY, HEALTH AND SAFETY
Concrete, mortar, stone should be thoroughly pre-
pared by high pressure water jetting or mechanical
means such as grinding, chiselling etc. Cracks must be
cleaned to remove dust by using compressed air.
MIXING

User must read the most recent corresponding Safety Pre-batched packaging:
Data Sheets (SDS) before using any products. The SDS 1. Add all of Part B to Part A.
provides information and advice on the safe handling, 2. Mix with an electric mixer at slow speed (max. 250
storage and disposal of chemical products and con- rpm) for at least 3 minutes. Avoid entraining air.
tains physical, ecological, toxicological and other
safety-related data. Bulk packaging:
IMPORTANT
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Part mixing is recommended.
1. Add both parts in the correct proportion into suit-
able clean and dry container, mix in the same way as
SUBSTRATE QUALITY for the pre-batched units.
Substrates must be sound, clean, free from oil and
grease, old coatings and surface treatments etc.

APPLICATION
Impregnation of cracks in horizontal planes:
Saturate the crack by applying the product by paint
brush or roller in several passes or by pouring
between two "barriers" made with Sikaflex® sealant.
The crack penetrating through structure must be
sealed on the underside with Sikadur®-31 IN epoxy
mortar or a suitable Sika® cementitious mortars.
Injection of cracks on horizontal / vertical planes:
Sikadur®-55 LP IN can be injected under pressure into
cracks using a single-component injection pump. The
injectors should be placed at a distance of 25 cm and
the fissure between sections of injectors should be su-
perficially sealed with Sikadur®-31 to avoid the loss of
resin during the injection process. Vertical cracks must
be injected from the bottom up. As soon as the resin
oozes through the next injector, the first must be
sealed and continue the injection process from the
next. After completing the injection process, the in-
jectors and sealing material can be removed.
IMPORTANT
Maximum width of cracks to be injected: 5 mm. Please
contact Sika Technical Services for cracks > 5 mm.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika®
Colma-Cleaner immediately after use. Hardened
or cured material can only be mechanically removed.
